BYOB at Watsons: How Shifting Your Daily Habits Can Save the Planet

Watsons encourages customers to bring their own reusable bags as part of its nationwide initiative to reduce single-use waste starting June 1, 2026.

From groceries and pantry stock runs to retail therapy, shopping is part of daily life for many Filipinos. With every purchase made and items bought, mindless shopping habits like the way we carry our purchases home can have a lasting impact. One we may not be too proud of.  

As a way to encourage a more sustainable and mindful shopping habit, Watsons Philippines encourages their shoppers to BYOB or Bring Your Own Bag. To reinforce this practice, all Watsons stores nationwide have begun charging Php 1.00 for each paper bag requested by their customers during checkout. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on single-use bags while supporting a meaningful cause. Watsons will donate 100% of paper bag proceeds to its Give A Smile Program, where customers can help support free cleft correction surgeries for Filipino children nationwide.
